WHAT HAS INSPIRED YOU TO DO WHAT YOU DO AND KEEP DOING IT?
Growing up in Whyalla with a lifelong disability, I was able to observe the need for quality disability therapy services. Particularly for children in the country who often had to use adult services, if there were any services available. I wanted to be a role model for people with disabilities and advocate for people with disabilities having a say in our own lives and the issues that affect us.
